The campsite opens at midday on the day before the event, and
closes at midday on the day after the event has finished. Please

is extended for 2017. Previously, the campsite effectively closed
on the evening of the final event day.

You are welcome to bring your car or bike onto the campsite with
you. Please head to the main entrance on arrival, and you will be
directed to the campsite and issued with a wristband.

There is no shop located on the campsite, but there are
supermarkets nearby, including a Co-Op in West Kingsdown (approx 15
minute walk), and our circuit restaurants will be serving hot food,
snacks and drinks.

BBQs are permitted as long as they are raised off the ground, but
open fires are not permitted. You are welcome to bring your own
alcohol too.

Animals are not permitted anywhere on site at Brands Hatch (except
Guide/Assistance dogs), including the campsite.

We work extremely hard to keep our site secure. We have a team
of security guards patrolling our campsite 24 hours a day, in
addition to our other campsite staff including fire and medical
teams. Nevertheless, thieves have been known to operate in the
area, so we highly recommend keeping your valuables safe at all
times, either by locking them in your car, or keeping them on your
person.

MSV will accept no responsibility for loss or damage sustained to
these items.

Please keep noise to a minimum after 23:30. This includes the
use of generators wherever possible, particularly if they are
portable external units. Any campers that persist in making
excessive noise after this time may be evicted from the campsite
without refund of ticket fees, or even banned from the venue
permanently in extreme cases.

Road-registered vehicles are permitted within the campsites, but
scooters and mini-motos are not permitted. Please be considerate of
others and keep vehicle movement to a minimum. Sleeping in vans is
not advised.

Campers under the age of 16 years must be accompanied by an
appropriate adult.

Strictly no animals are allowed on site at any time, however

Open fires are not permitted on the campsite (no wood burning).
Barbecues are permitted but must be raised off the ground. Please
dispose of coals and single use barbecues (once cool) in the metal

Never leave a hot stove or barbeque unattended. Keep roadways and
fire lanes clear at all times. Store fuel and generators away from
ignition sources. Fire extinguishers are located at various fire
points around the campsite. Use only in an emergency and raise the
alarm immediately.

The campsite speed limit is 10mph. Only drive if strictly
necessary and watch for children.

Secure tents and gazebos carefully - always prepare for high
winds!

Never use a portable barbeque or gas burner inside a tent, awning
or enclosed space (for cooking, or heating when cold). A cooling
barbeque can also give off poisonous gas.

Never run a generator inside a tent, awning or confined space.
Consider purchasing a Carbon Monoxide alarm and use it inside your
caravan or motor home if running an installed gas appliance.

Always check your gas cylinder for damage before using. Maintain
good ventilation when using portable gas (remember to use it
outside only).
